Recently, I realized that I have been offering fractional communication support to organizations for years. But, Sarah, you may ask – how were you offering a service that you didn’t know about? Truth is, I knew I was offering it. I just didn’t know what it was called. I’ve been telling potential clients about how…
Myth 1: Corporate communication is only for large corporations or for-profit organizations. Reality: Organizations of any size or type can benefit from corporate communication efforts.
